Yes, I saw this on the 1pm BBC news. It featured a lady who was bi polar who has had the extra stress and worry to obtain her entitlement, which won't have done her state of mental health any good.
At the end, she said something poignant as in "this could all be sorted out if they began to care".

It's a shame you're more interested in using a negatively emotive term which wrongly describes something than being accurate - you would be very upset (rightly) if someone described severely disabled people as "burdens on the taxpayers"; words have power, especially if used negatively and incorrectly.
